At least 26 Iraqis were
killed and 50 were wounded in the latest attacks. The numbers rose from yesterday's
suicide bombing near Baghdad, while more attacks occurred in the capital itself.
No Coalition deaths were reported.

The death toll from yesterday's suicide
bombing at a funeral in Abu Minasir rose by three
dead and eight wounded to 25 killed and 48 wounded. One witness described
the bomber as a crying teenager and noted that the boy's suicide vest appeared
to have detonated by remote control, suggesting he was an unwilling accomplice.

Iran bombarded the Qalaat Daza district, but no
casualties were reported. In the past, Iran has targeted PJAK (Partiya Jiyana
Azada Kurdistanê) rebel bases there. They believe the rebels use the bases
to stage attacks in Iranian territory.
